- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cubed)
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2/3 cup heavy cream (plus extra for brushing)

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
